City Park to get new tennis court

The City Council unanimuosly approved Tuesday a $54,821 contract to build a new court near the softball fields. The cost includes $10,300 for lights.

According to city documents, $40,000 of the cost would come from state Program Open Space funds.

The new tennis court would replace an existing court on the southwest corner of City Park, which would be turned into an outdoor storage area or a parking lot for the "202" train exhibit, according to city documents.

The existing court is often flooded, city officials said during a work session last week.
